Others first appeared in GURPS High-Tech: Pulp Guns, Volume 1 (2008) and GURPS High-Tech: Pulp Guns, Volume 2 (2008), written by Hans-Christian Vortisch, but now contain period information. Some were developed from material in the Pyramid article “In Her Majesty’s Service” (2003), also by Hans-Christian Vortisch. Where a gun’s statistics differ from those in an earlier book, like High-Tech, use the Adventure Guns version. These minor changes reflect newer, more accurate information and details.
